Had sleeve surgery on April 10th. I am new to this forum and after just an hour of reading I’ve learned the answers to questions I had that I couldn’t find anywhere else. I’m grateful that some of you, even 18 months-2years post op still take the time to answer questions and engage. If anyone out there has had recent surgery and wants a support buddy to stay in touch with over the next few challenging months, I’m looking!

Hi Lizzy - if you like we can stay in touch. I just had my surgery on 3/31 so about 10 days further along. I check into this site daily as I have found the people here are amazing and so willing to share which helps so much. Here anytime for you!

      Happy Wednesday!
       
      I hope everyone is having a lovely week so far! 
      It's been a bit of a struggle this last week...I'm hungry ALL the time.

        Have a great Wednesday too! Sorry you're hungry all the time, I'm pretty much the same..and I'm sick of eating the same food all the time.

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
